research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research Susceptibility variants on chromosome 7p21.1 suggest HDAC9 as a new candidate gene for male-pattern baldness
A gene called HDAC9 might be a new factor in male-pattern baldness.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II: extreme end organ resistance to 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 in a patient without alopecia
A boy with severe Vitamin D-resistant rickets did not respond to treatment and lacked a common symptom, suggesting a need for alternative treatments.
research Chrousos syndrome: from molecular pathogenesis to therapeutic management
The review suggests thorough evaluation and genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment of Chrousos syndrome.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Endocrine-skin interactions
Hormone imbalances can cause specific skin changes, which may help in early detection of endocrine disorders.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research A Mouse Model of Androgenetic Alopecia
Mice with human gene experienced hair loss when treated with DHT.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.
research Studying the genetic predisposing factors in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris
Genetics play a role in acne, but how exactly they contribute is not fully understood.
research What does acne genetics teach us about disease pathogenesis?
Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.
research Genetic Variants Associated with Hyperandrogenemia in PCOS Pathophysiology
Certain genetic variations are linked to increased androgen levels in PCOS, but more research is needed to understand these connections fully.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research The endocrinology of baldness
Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.
research Pharmacokinetics of a transdermal testosterone cream in healthy postmenopausal women
A 5 mg dose of transdermal testosterone cream effectively restores testosterone levels in postmenopausal women.
research Medical Treatment of Hirsutism in Women
Treating hirsutism in women often requires a mix of medications and cosmetic methods for best results.
research Trends in the Development of New Drugs for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed to be more effective and have fewer side effects.
research Experimental and early investigational drugs for androgenetic alopecia
New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.
research Exclusive androgenic effect of dehydroepiandrosterone in sebaceous glands of rat skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Endocrine treatment of benign prostatichypertrophy: Current concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage—Animal, Experimental Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
research Comprehensive Transcriptome Profiling of Balding and Non-Balding Scalps in Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Type I Patient
The study found genetic differences related to hair development that may explain hair loss in a patient with Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type I.
